Plain-language articles and answers to the questions homeowners ask us most — so you can make a confident, informed decision about your roof and exterior.
Watch for curling, cracked, or missing shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, daylight or water stains in the attic, a sagging roofline, and any roof past about 20 years old. A free inspection confirms whether a repair or a full replacement is the smarter call.
In Utah’s intense sun, snow loads, and freeze-thaw cycles, architectural asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years, while standing-seam metal and tile can last 40–70 years. Proper ventilation and installation quality have a major impact on how long any roof lasts here.
Most residential replacements in Utah County range widely based on roof size and pitch, the material you choose, the number of existing layers to tear off, and any decking or ventilation repairs. We give you a clear, written, fixed price after a free inspection so there are no surprises.
Keep gutters clean, trim overhanging branches, ensure your attic is properly ventilated and insulated, and have your roof inspected after major storms. Catching small issues early — like a few lifted shingles or worn flashing — prevents expensive water damage later.
PowerHouse backs new residential roofs with up to 20-year product and workmanship warranties, in writing. Manufacturer material warranties vary by system, and we explain exactly what’s covered before you sign.
Often, yes. If your roof was damaged by a covered storm or hail event, your homeowner’s policy may pay for repair or replacement. We document the damage thoroughly with photos and measurements and guide you through the claim process with your insurer.
If damage is isolated and your roof is relatively young, a targeted repair is usually the right move. If your roof is near the end of its life, has widespread wear, or repairs keep adding up, replacement is more cost-effective. Our inspection gives you an honest recommendation either way.
Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–3 days depending on size, pitch, and material. We give you a firm schedule before we start, keep an on-site superintendent on the job, and update you throughout.
